Q
What should one do if they feel ignored or slighted by someone in authority, according to Islamic teachings?
A
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) sent me for some job and when I had finished it I returned and came to the Prophet (ﷺ)
and greeted him but he did not return my greeting. So I felt so sorry that only Allah knows it and I
said to myself,, ‘Perhaps Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) is angry because I did not come quickly, then again I greeted
him but he did not reply. I felt even more sorry than I did the first time. Again I greeted him and he
returned the greeting and said, “The thing which prevented me from returning the greeting was that I
was praying.” And at that time he was on his Rahila and his face was not towards the Qibla.
